commit 0915e6feb38de8d3601819992a5bd050201a56fa upstream.
The gpio device attributes were never destroyed when the gpio was
unexported (or on export failures).
Use device_create_with_groups() to create the default device attributes
of the gpio class device. Note that this also fixes the
attribute-creation race with userspace for these attributes.
Remove contingent attributes in export error path and on unexport.
Fixes: d8f388d8dc8d ("gpio: sysfs interface")

Backport to v3.10 (and earlier) which lacks device_create_with_groups().
Changes since v1
- fix mistake in backport, which removed the attributes while holding
the mutex in gpiod_unexport (reported by Luis Henriques)
